Girls' board skirts - Product Recall
Categories: Health & safety, Kid decor & style, Shopping & recalls
Not satisfied with just putting lead paint on our children's playthings, Chinese manufacturers are now putting the toxic stuff in their clothes. Well, at least one manufacturer is, and for that reason the Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 600 Sun Smarties Board Skirts. The lead paint is in the grommets.The skirts are peach microfiber with an embroidered flower accent and back pocket. You can find Item Number 13926 HIBI printed on the care label inside the back of the waistband. The skirts were sold in girls sizes 12 months to 4T. They have six grommets, four on the front of the waistband and two on the back pocket.
As mentioned, these were made in China for Chelsea & Scott Ltd. and sold exclusively at One Step Ahead from May 1, 2008 through May 9, 2008 for about $15 each.
If you have one of these skirts, you should immediately take it away from your child and return it to Chelsea & Scott Ltd to receive a replacement skirt or refund. You will be sent a postage paid envelope from the company.
For more information, contact Chelsea & Scott Ltd by calling (866) 271-4536 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, visit their Web site, or email them at customerservice@onestepahead.com.

Sandy Maple must be a complete idiot. Apparently idiots like her make great writers, because she is not alone. Despite the fact that you probably will get more lead out of your drinking water, she wants you to believe that the Chinese are intentionally trying to poison us. Last time I checked you have to ingest lead for it to be an issue and unless you plan on eating these skirts (if you do you deserve what you get IDIOT, although you will probably choke before the lead [no where near a lethal dose] even has a chance to enter your system) then you are not in any danger. What makes her and everyone else sound even more ignorant is the fact that they mane any lead originating in the US is a misfortunate accident, yet if it comes from China they make it sound like an intentional act. Please Sandy, take your ignorance and shove it.

i think i have to agree with steven's underlying sentiment that this post seems to make sandy maple RACIST by accusing ALL Chinese manufacturers of having malicious intent. although i understand the frustration with products with many chinese made products containing toxic substances, this post's tone contributes to stereotypes and racism that still has its hold in the united states today.
